SVN to Git
After coming to love the idea of git
and related version control systems, I finally decided to move all
of my repos over to it. After quite the ordeal of getting
gitosis+gitweb+git-daemon set
up on ubuntu, I'm finally ready to move my main personal
repositories from SVN to git. Pretty straightforward, but I thought
it would be best if I document it here as well:
The process:
1. Assuming you have git and git-svn installed, go ahead and clone your SVN repository
2. Now, you need to clone what you just got from your SVN repo to a new git repo
3. That's it!
Now you have a git repository that you can stick in your gitosis repositories directory or wherever you store these things.

git svn clone svn+ssh://lfowles.org/home/landon/src/school
2. Now, you need to clone what you just got from your SVN repo to a new git repo
git clone --bare school school.git
3. That's it!
Now you have a git repository that you can stick in your gitosis repositories directory or wherever you store these things.

Your tarball's unzipped!
Today, for work, I embarked on the
task of fixing wireless on a Dell Inspiron 1525 running 32 bit
Windows Vista (Why? I have no idea or choice.) My first step was to
hit up the Dell driver site, which listed 4 or 5 drivers, so of
course I got them all since I could not for the hell of me figure
out what model of card this was, being in Windows. I found out I
could queue up these downloads and download them as either a .zip
file or a .tar.gz file, so I choose the linux friendly option of
.tar.gz.
Eager to get to work, I then tried to open the tarball with Nautilus. Whoops. It hadn't finished downloading yet and I was getting an error. After I waited several more minutes for 150mb of drivers to download I tried opening it again with Nautilus. Whoops. Oh, wait, this time the download was completed and there were no errors! Thinking it would be about the funniest damned thing if my newest theory was correct, I checked out the tarball with `file`.
The results?
